okay, so here is a wierd one for all you PO4 haters out there.
i tested my newly mixed ro di saltwater with api saltwater phosphate test kit. got a reading of 1 ppm. was astonished. i was confused, so i tested the source water with a freshwater card, source ro di freshwater read 10 ppm.
holy smokes! what the heck?! so heres what i did, i tested the phosphates coming out of my tap water on the other line that the ro di is diverted from. and my rading is less than .25 id say closer to .09. im ordering a tds meter to measure the tds of my tap. and any ideas as to why my ro di would be increasing phosphates in my water??!?!?!?!
